'Force Awakens' tie-in book delayed to thwart spoilers

With the release of the eagerly awaited 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' just six weeks away, expectations are reaching fever pitch. Considering that the full story or script has yet to leak, Disney have stepped in to make sure that fans aren't spoiled by the time they sit in a darkened theatre.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the studio has decided to delay the release of the official 'Force Awakens' novel a number of weeks past the lucrative Christmas season to January 5 next year. An E-Book version will now be available on December 18th, when the film launches in the United States.
